Justin Blackmon, the Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver under indefinite NFL suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, was arrested Wednesday night in Edmond, Okla., for alleged marijuana possession and a driving violation, according to the Edmond police department.

Blackmon, a first-round draft pick of the Jaguars out of Oklahoma State in 2012, was released on $675 bond, police said.

In November of last year, Blackmon received the indefinite NFL suspension. He had earlier been suspended the first four games of the 2013 season for violation of the substance abuse policy.

Blackmon was a two-time Biletnikoff Award winner as the nation's top receiver while at Oklahoma State and the No. 5 pick by the Jaguars in the 2012 NFL draft.

Police said he was arrested at 6:22 p.m. CT.

He was approaching an intersection that was stopped for a red light, and he was trying to get into the left turn lane, said Jenny Monroe, public information officer for the Edmond police.

"So to do that he went around all of the parked cars â?¦ to get into that left turn, and one of our officers was at that intersection and saw it happen," said Monroe.

Blackmon's car was pulled over, and Monroe said the officer smelled the odor of marijuana from the vehicle.

Blackmon said he did not have a driver's license with him and did not respond when asked for identification, said Monroe.

"He did go ahead and admit that there was marijuana in the vehicle," said Monroe. " â?¦ Mr. Blackmon said he had been smoking a blunt marijuana (marijuana cigar) while he was driving and that there was another full blunt within the car in a box, and that's exactly what our officer's found in the vehicle."

Indefinite suspension is the NFL penalty for a third violation of its substance abuse policy.

After sitting out his four-game suspension at the start of last season, Blackmon was the Jaguars leading receiver over the next four games before receiving the indefinite suspension.

Blackmon technically was eligible to apply for reinstatement prior to the start of this season.

The Jaguars issued a brief statement from team owner Shad Khan: "We want Justin Blackmon to get well."

Jaguars second-year wide receiver Ace Sanders says "personal issues" will keep him away from the start of training camp and that he also faces a four-game suspension for violating the substance abuse policy.

"I've decided to go seek help, get (the) attention that I need â?? hopefully somebody can help me out," Sanders says in the Sentinel. "I should be OK; I just want to get better and come back and be ready to play."

Sanders said he probably will not take part in camp and preseason games. Players facing suspensions are permitted to take part in preseason.

Blackmon, 24, made 14 starts for Jacksonville as a rookie in 2012 and caught 64 passes for 865 yards and five touchdowns.

Last season, he appeared in four games (all starts) and caught 29 passes for 415 yards and one touchdown.
